Before we left Seattle, Liis spent hours on the telephone putting together a terrific set of wineries for us to visit, including a number of private events that she has access to because she works in the hospitality industry.
First up was Freemark Abbey:
Our next stop was Twomey Cellars:
All the wineries we’re visiting are top notch, but Viader impressed with its spectacular hillside setting, fine wines and gracious hospitality:
We visited Joseph Phelps:
Our last stop today was Grgich Hills, co-founded by Mike Grgich, one of the pioneer premium winemakers of the Napa Valley:
For the third-straight year, we were fortunate enough to have accommodations at the Cuvaison Winery guest house, nestled beside a vineyard in the Carneros area:
On our first trip together to the Napa Valley, we met a friend, Kenneth Pledger, for lunch at the Boonfly Café, part of the Carneros Inn. We had dinner tonight at Boonfly and enjoyed the casual setting and excellent food.
